I can’t believe the kinder institute dropped the ball on including preventing structural flooding as one of its big issues for the new mayor. Unless you’re happy living in a second floor or higher condo or apartment forever then you should be concerned about flooding. This needs to be a “big issue” on the mayors agenda.

@Commenter7, I’d rather live in a subdivision that used to be a city called “Houston Heights”, so named because of its elevation, than a subdivision that used to be a swath of rice paddies. (Disclaimer: I live in neither the Heights nor Katy.)
